ALL PRICES ADVANCING
AND DOUBT AS TO THE PERMA-
NENCY OF
The Advance Are Having Some Ef.
feet TO Restrain Purchases
Labor and Farmers.
ESPECIAL TO THE ApPEAL.l

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, January 29.-
Today's kilograms from Western and
two or three Eastern commercial cen
tiers point to a slight slsckening up in
demlnd for two or three reasons.
First, prices are very high and ad-
vsncing; second, doubt is entertained
as t. the permanency of the extreme
advance, aud third. the extraordinary
increase in production must, it is
agreed, coon be felt in trade cilc es.
The great industries are all oversold
and orders are waiting for acceptance.
The smaller industries all over the
country are filing up steadily. The
jobbiDg centers, .such as Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, have had a
busy week, aud travelling AGENTS write
back OF bright prospects, especially in
the Mississippi Valley. Labor sgiIa-
tons do not threaten to bs serious, and
this sire ngtheDs The confideDc of cap
italists, manufacturers, bull lers and
business men generally.
The Labor and Farmer Convention,
which is called for Cincinnati, Fsbru-
cry 22d, will act ss safety valve to
unskilltd labor. Great hupes are In
dulged in by labor organizations that
some steps WI be taken there to help
things. This hops will help 10 weaken
the strike feeling. B sides msnufsc-
turers and employers in greet t many
ltcsIities are voluntarily advancing
wages. The practical question which
bushes msn large and small ara ask
ing themselves is: Shall l buy more
than l need for fear of an advance?
Toe answer is this: Mott of the
advance already made has been
MAIDS because all merchants and
manufacturers have bought more
than they actually needed for rt quire-
ments in hand. If this jobbing ia
pushed higher prices will iCl oW and
enterprises will BIZ discouraged. Iron
has advanced 2@2ic; nails to SO 30;
plate iron, 24c; old rails, $25 so at
New York; pig iron is $lS@22 for
f5uudry and $lS@l9 80 for forge at
mill. Wool has advanced 5c, and is
rising. Petroleum is firm. Wheat is
he'd by spe culators and elevator
interests for an advance. Clothing
for men aud women, boots and shoes,
furs, etc, are steady ana supply
abundant, bat there are no stocks to
crowd down the market.
Lumber is advancing and firm in
price; Chicago and Northwestern sup
plies will be heavy; Northern mills
are busy; prices will drop little in
the spring.
The anthracite coal combination has
grip on the trade, and the East
ern bituminous coal pool has divided
the trade OF 1887 between them.
The leading builders of New York,
Philadelphia and Chicago have already
made contrac for as many small
houses as they can build this fesson.
The trade news this week from
Europe is favorable towards an in
crease in American imports of all
kinds, including food, machinery,
tools, etc. The trade depression in
Great Britain IL over, and the i'm
provement will be gradual, but sure.
The Export of small tools, devices, i'm
plemenls, etc, ia increasing rapidly to
foreign parts, despite the desrer lspor.
Many small commercial failures have
occurred this week.

TN TARIFF

The conference in Washington between
the President and his advisers on the one
side and the representative leaders of the
Democracy on the other ought to lead to
an agreement on tariff bill that Con
gress would promptly pass The Presi-
dent friends who wish his denomination
doubtless see that il depends upon what
the Democratic House Of Representatives
will DO upon The Presidents recommen
daiion
The focus Of the discussion ss far a. il
is guessed at or known, is the question
of obliierating The surplus by the aboli-
ton of the tax on tobacco and liquors
But n thi, leaves the high tariff a
longer lease there must no a compromise
for certain reductions Of import duties on
the necessaries OF life
The prospect that the House may work
in harmony with the Administration is
the best augury for the Democracy

ALLEGED IMPORTED CIGARS.
How Devotees ofthe Fragrant Havana
are Duped

WASHINGTON, D. C.s,May 5.-Assistant
Secretary Magyar has instructed the
Gus 'oms officers TO see that domestic
cigars exported for the purpose of being
relmported are not admitted to entry
under the provisions of section $500,
but to require them to be turned over to
the collectors of internal revenue for
such . oceedure as may be found ex-
lpedient under the internal revenue law
This is based on the system that exists
of sending cigars manufactured in San
Francisco to Victoria, British Columbia,
and then returning them to San Fran
cisco. Under the provisions of section
$500 of the Revised Statutes they are
then stamped with custom stamps with
the words" domestic cigars reimported. -"
A good market for these cigars is found
in st. Louis, where they are usually sold
as imported cigars. The purchasers see
the import stamps, but fail to notice the
inscription thereon.

The First Case of Adultery -.

Andrew Homer, of Mill Creek, an old
gentleman over 70, enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the first Mormon held for
adultery under the new law. @
He was brought before the Commits
sioner, with his two wives, Mrs. Petra
Homer and Mrs. Anna Homer. The
evidence showed that neither of these
was his legal wife, his first wife having
died many years ago, and the woman
who would be held to be his legal wife
having LETT him eleven years ago. OF
the two who were left him, he only
lived with one, Petra, as he had mar
RED Anna for eternity and only called
or her occasionally as neighbor. Mr..
Dickson demanded that Mr.. Homer De
neld for both unlawful eohabitation and
adultery, as he was living with d third
wife, his first being still alive. The
Commissioner took the same view, and
bound Mr.. Homer over with bonds al
81, 500, and those OF his wives at 500
each.

The Pope and the Knights

New YORK, May 5.-The World, to-
morrow, will say: The following cable
dispatch was received from Rome by
Archbishop Corrigan, yesterday: mo
decision has been given in the case of
the Knights of Labor. 1t is false
that Pope Leo said that there is nothing
worthy of censure in Georges book"
The signature was not revealed by
the officials at the palace. This cable
gram confirms what was said
by Cardinal Taschereau, and already
published in the World. The Pope has
withdrawn his condemnation of the
Knights of Labor, but has not
approved them. Henry George said
IN relation to the latter part
Of the, eablegram: 81 have never
urged that the Pope has not condemned
my theories. have said he never ex-
amined them, and that he has never
condemned DR.. McGlynn."

Canadians to Wrestls With the Long

Ottawa, May 5.-Muiock has intro
duced bill III Parliament embodying
some of the provisions of the United
States interstate commerce bill. The
most important provision relates to
discrimination in rates and provides
that no railroad company shall charge
for carrying freight short distance a
greater rate than for carrying the same
cas- of goods q longer distance,
n which the shorter is included; that is,
that local freight from station to station
along the line shall not have to pay
more in proportion, on account OF there
being no competition, than shall be
charged for through freight between
he points served by more than one
luad, and where there is competition.
The bill further provides that unused
passenger tickets may be redeemed at
any station office of the company be-
tween and including the points covered
BIZ the ticket, and also provides
penalty recoverable in case of refusal
By the railroad company to so redeem
any tickets. 1t is claimed that the for
malities connected with the redemption
o. unused tickets have been such that
great number OF travellers could not
spare time or get an opportunity to
carry out the process.
